/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

K so I helped build that transporter room. And I helped build the one we built inside it because this one didn't look star-trek enough. Look closely at the Discovery's transporter room.

Also fun story: when I was working on this (with hundreds of others) one job that took forever was the rectangular black tiles that make up the back wall. I spent days, I think it was close to 1500 of them, plywood laminated to some sort of firm sound foam, run through the table saw for each of the beveled edges.... Carefully mounted to this bracket thing that the welding guys must have built. It was one of the earliest sets they wanted done, and they ended up using it for some early promo pictures of our hero....

One of the earliest released shots of Michael were in the transporter room, and dead centre behind her on the wall of a hundred tiles, is one super crooked tile. I can't find the pic right now, but it's obvious... I don't know how nobody saw it during the shoot, or at least in post....

I facepalmed so hard. All our hard work and we looked like we hired a toddler last minute.
